Getting Started 1.1 Welcome Welcome to Barrier Reef TAFE. The following study guide will provide you with an overview and examples of how your training will progress. This guide deals with an entire apprenticeship or a qualification from fee for service. You should keep this qualification guide for the duration of your apprenticeship so you can record important information and dates, like when you attended college, who your instructor was for each competency, results etc. A Certificate III in Instrumentation and Control Engineering is a basic trade qualification. Participants in the Certificate III in Instrumentation and Control course cover the program requirements using a range of learning styles, including self-paced learning, practical activities and study group sessions. They will be tested to ensure they have a full understanding of the principles addressed throughout the program and will receive a comprehensive workbook and practical guide to each unit covered.
1.2 Course Composition To gain this qualification you must be assessed as competent in 21 core competencies, 2 stream core competencies and a number of elective competencies (4points). If you already have an electrical fitter licence or an electrical mechanics licence you will only need to complete 12 core competencies, 1 computerised system competency and 2 elective competencies. During your apprenticeship and before you to gain a certificate 3 qualification you will be required to : • • • • • • •
Demonstrate some relevant theoretical knowledge Apply a range of well developed skills Apply known solutions to a variety of predictable problems Perform processes that require a range of well developed skills where some discretion and judgement is required Interpret available information, using discretion and judgement Take responsibility for own outputs in work and learning Take limited responsibility for the output of others

ABOUT COMPETENCIES A competency comprises the specification of knowledge and skill and the application of that knowledge and skill to the standard of performance required in the workplace. This definition of competency standard includes: •
• •
what is expected of an employee in the workplace rather than on the learning process which embodies the ability to transfer and apply skills and knowledge to new situations and environments an emphasis on outcomes and on the application of skills and knowledge, not just specification what people are able to do and their ability to do it in a range of contexts, e.g. maintain and use networks of suppliers, government agencies.
The broad concept of industry competency concerns the ability to perform particular tasks and duties to the standard of performance expected in the workplace. Competency requires the application of specified skills and knowledge and attitudes relevant to effective participation in an industry, industry sector or enterprise. Competency covers all aspects of workplace performance and involves performing individual tasks; managing a range of different tasks; responding to contingencies or breakdowns; and dealing with the responsibilities of the workplace, including working with others. This requires you to demonstrate the ability to apply relevant skills, knowledge and attitudes consistently over time and in the required workplace situations and environments. In line with this concept of competency, your training focus is on what is expected of a competent individual in the workplace as an outcome of learning, rather than focussing on the learning process itself. Competency standards are determined by industry to meet identified industry skill needs. COMPETENCY DEVELOPMENT During your apprenticeship you will participate in the following competency development activities. Training Plan • When you sign your training contract your employer, yourself and the BRIT training coordinator will devise a suitable training plan to enable you to complete the required competencies to gain your qualification. Together you will select elective competency units. The units that are chosen must be selected to allow you to practice the skills and knowledge in the workplace. For example if you chose UEENEEI001B (Install and set up transducers and sensing devices) your employer must be able to provide supervision and practice in that competency. If this work is not part of your employers business you should not select this unit. Study Guide

The competencies outlined in red are the actual delivered competencies. The competencies outlined in olive are electrical competencies and can be cross credited if you have an existing Queensland electrical licence. The competencies outlined in light blue are instrument competencies that are delivered within the red competencies and are cross credited. E-Profile You are required as an apprentice to keep a log book of your work activities. E-profile is an electronic version of a log book. It is an important training record and the principle tool your assessor will use to make a judgement of your competency. E-Profiling is found at www.eprofiling.com.au. A web based tutorial on the site is available to ensure that employers and apprentices are aware of the responsibilities when using the e-profiling reporting system. Important information about paper based and web based processes are shown. All training records suffer from a question of their reliability. E-Profiling reduces the concern about reliability by collecting your completed profile entry weekly and continuously monitoring your competency development. Obviously if you are not completing your profile weekly it raises some doubt on whether the information they contain is reliable. If you have months of outstanding cards they will be discounted as they will not be considered reliable. If this occurs you will be required to continue your training until you have reached the required range or provide additional evidence in the form of • • • • •
Work diaries Job cards or time sheets Third party reports from your employer References or testimonials from customers or supervisors Other relevant documentation
The additional evidence you provide will need to be analysed and assessed, this process will take significantly longer than using the profile sheets E-profile reports are forwarded to you and your employer as well as BRIT at regular intervals (3 monthly) You should check your report to ensure it is accurate. You should use this opportunity to also discuss your progress with your employer. Pay particular attention to the range of work you are undertaking. If you are not getting enough workplace practice in a particular competency you will not be able to be assessed as competent. If this is the case you need to make arrangements with your employer to get access to the work required to practice and hone your skills. BRIT (training co-ordinator) may be able to assist.

UEE31207 Certificate III in Instrumentation and Control
This is the traditional type “exam” or assessment. These types of assessments are most often used to assess knowledge. Question and answer assessments may take a number of forms like • • • • • • •
Traditional paper based closed book examination Traditional paper based open book examination Computer based closed book examination Computer based open book examination Completion of workbooks Oral questioning during a practical demonstration Oral questioning during a professional interview
This form of assessment has two types of questions •
Critical questions which are used to assess the competency. They are identified in the assessment and all must be answered correctly. • Non-Critical questions are used as an opportunity to demonstrate excellence. These questions will have a % mark associated with them and will contribute 50% of your total marks for the EKAS. Practical demonstration Your instructor will observe you carry out a task and record your performance on an observation checklist. These types of assessment are most often used to assess skill. Often you will be required to answer questions or describe your practice while the task is proceeding. These types of assessments may take place at BRIT or at the workplace. Assignments that require you to produce drawings, manuals, operating instructions etc. are also considered practical demonstrations of your skill. Supervisors Report Before you are assessed as competent in a competency your supervising tradesperson will be consulted. Their opinion on your progress is perhaps the most valuable evidence that you are ready to be assessed. Supervisors reports can be collected by having them sign your competency descriptor in your training record book, completing a form or by interview.

ABOUT COMPETENCIES A competency comprises the specification of knowledge and skill and the application of that knowledge and skill to the standard of performance required in the workplace. This definition of competency standard includes: •
• •
what is expected of an employee in the workplace rather than on the learning process which embodies the ability to transfer and apply skills and knowledge to new situations and environments an emphasis on outcomes and on the application of skills and knowledge, not just specification what people are able to do and their ability to do it in a range of contexts, e.g. maintain and use networks of suppliers, government agencies.
The broad concept of industry competency concerns the ability to perform particular tasks and duties to the standard of performance expected in the workplace. Competency requires the application of specified skills and knowledge and attitudes relevant to effective participation in an industry, industry sector or enterprise. Competency covers all aspects of workplace performance and involves performing individual tasks; managing a range of different tasks; responding to contingencies or breakdowns; and dealing with the responsibilities of the workplace, including working with others. This requires you to demonstrate the ability to apply relevant skills, knowledge and attitudes consistently over time and in the required workplace situations and environments. In line with this concept of competency, your training focus is on what is expected of a competent individual in the workplace as an outcome of learning, rather than focussing on the learning process itself. Competency standards are determined by industry to meet identified industry skill needs. COMPETENCY DEVELOPMENT During your apprenticeship you will participate in the following competency development activities. Training Plan • When you sign your training contract your employer, yourself and the BRIT training coordinator will devise a suitable training plan to enable you to complete the required competencies to gain your qualification. Together you will select elective competency units. The units that are chosen must be selected to allow you to practice the skills and knowledge in the workplace. For example if you chose UEENEEI001B (Install and set up transducers and sensing devices) your employer must be able to provide supervision and practice in that competency. If this work is not part of your employers business you should not select this unit. Study Guide

It is an important training record and the principle tool your assessor will use to make a judgement of your competency. E-Profiling is found at www.eprofiling.com.au. A web based tutorial on the site is available to ensure that employers and apprentices are aware of the responsibilities when using the e-profiling reporting system. Important information about paper based and web based processes are shown. All training records suffer from a question of their reliability. E-Profiling reduces the concern about reliability by collecting your completed profile entry weekly and continuously monitoring your competency development. Obviously if you are not completing your profile weekly it raises some doubt on whether the information they contain is reliable. If you have months of outstanding cards they will be discounted as they will not be considered reliable. If this occurs you will be required to continue your training until you have reached the required range or provide additional evidence in the form of • • • • •
Work diaries Job cards or time sheets Third party reports from your employer References or testimonials from customers or supervisors Other relevant documentation
The additional evidence you provide will need to be analysed and assessed, this process will take significantly longer than using the profile sheets E-profile reports are forwarded to you and your employer as well as BRIT at regular intervals (3 monthly) You should check your report to ensure it is accurate. You should use this opportunity to also discuss your progress with your employer. Pay particular attention to the range of work you are undertaking. If you are not getting enough workplace practice in a particular competency you will not be able to be assessed as competent. If this is the case you need to make arrangements with your employer to get access to the work required to practice and hone your skills. BRIT (training co-ordinator) may be able to assist.

This is the traditional type “exam” or assessment. These types of assessments are most often used to assess knowledge. Question and answer assessments may take a number of forms like • • • • • • •
Traditional paper based closed book examination Traditional paper based open book examination Computer based closed book examination Computer based open book examination Completion of workbooks Oral questioning during a practical demonstration Oral questioning during a professional interview
This form of assessment has two types of questions •
Critical questions which are used to assess the competency. They are identified in the assessment and all must be answered correctly. • Non-Critical questions are used as an opportunity to demonstrate excellence. These questions will have a % mark associated with them and will contribute 50% of your total marks for the EKAS. Practical demonstration Your instructor will observe you carry out a task and record your performance on an observation checklist. These types of assessment are most often used to assess skill. Often you will be required to answer questions or describe your practice while the task is proceeding. These types of assessments may take place at BRIT or at the workplace. Assignments that require you to produce drawings, manuals, operating instructions etc. are also considered practical demonstrations of your skill. Supervisors Report Before you are assessed as competent in a competency your supervising tradesperson will be consulted. Their opinion on your progress is perhaps the most valuable evidence that you are ready to be assessed. Supervisors reports can be collected by having them sign your competency descriptor in your training record book, completing a form or by interview.
